Highlights of Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdolhamid\u2019s Speech at the Graduation Ceremony for Female Students of the Madrasa of Aisha Siddiqah (RA) and Quran Memorizers of the Toheediyah and Tajweed al-Quran Madrasas in Kehir District, Konarak \u2013 Sunday, October 27, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Prayer is the greatest obligation and a fundamental pillar of Islam that brings reform to society and prevents the worshipper from committing sins.
\u2022 Unfortunately, many are negligent in their prayers, and attendance at the dawn prayer (Fajr) is low. Even while ill, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed in congregation.
\u2022 Are we performing our prayers with sincerity, or are we heedlessly carrying out this divine duty? Without humility, focus on Allah, and sincerity, we neglect the essence of prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 The Quran emphasizes steadfastness, which means acknowledging Allah\u2019s oneness, greatness, and lordship, recognizing our own humility, and performing good deeds.
\u2022 Steadfastness is about standing firm on the straight path, avoiding deviation.
\u2022 The straight path is a legacy of the prophets. Upholding steadfastness in Allah’s religion is vital; we should refrain from any actions contrary to His commands.
\u2022 Those who neglect prayer or almsgiving (zakat) are not practicing steadfastness in their faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Today, the world, including Israel, does not regard Muslims as a united, formidable force because Muslims lack unity and strength.
\u2022 Muslims have weakened, and the essence of faith and adherence to the Quran and the Prophet\u2019s (PBUH) teachings have faded, replaced by an increased attachment to worldly possessions.
\u2022 Humanity is suffering in Palestine, and no one can intervene. This is because we have abandoned the straight path of the Quran and the Prophet\u2019s way.
\u2022 If we hold firmly to the rope of Allah, He will resolve all our worldly and spiritual problems. Our salvation from troubles lies solely in returning to Allah and obeying Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 The best model of morality is the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Today, humanity has been harmed; families, neighbors, and business partners express grievances over their rights and debts. Nations complain about their governments and vice versa.
\u2022 Revive kinship and good morals, and rid yourself of envy, grudges, arrogance, and attachment to worldly desires.
\u2022 How is our morality with people? Do we fulfill our duties to our parents? Do we intend to pay our wife\u2019s dowry? Have we given the rightful inheritance to heirs? Do we engage in backbiting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Addiction is a harmful and deadly epidemic. It is utterly unworthy of a Muslim to distribute drugs or harm others by leading them into addiction.
\u2022 Drinking alcohol is impure and prohibited. Unfortunately, many lose their lives due to the consumption of counterfeit alcohol. If counterfeit products lead to death, the responsibility falls on the seller.
\u2022 When the ruling on alcohol prohibition was revealed, the Companions (RA) immediately abandoned their interests and followed Allah\u2019s command. They tore wine skins, broke bottles, and discarded vessels to avoid reminders of alcohol. Are today\u2019s traders of drugs and alcohol willing to abandon their trade for Allah, even if it brings billions in profit?
\u2022 The Quran calls us to purity and chastity. Islam is a religion of modesty, lawful earnings, and legitimacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 The Tablighi Jamaat is a group dedicated to promoting goodness and reviving the Sunnah and obligatory acts. Join them and support their efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Support students. Knowledge and education are essential. The progress and prosperity of nations depend on knowledge, and there is no worldly or spiritual success without it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Sisters play an essential role in building society.
\u2022 The best school is a “mother,” who instills morals, piety, and the right path in her child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
